The Twelve Brothers

A king’s cruel decree drives twelve princes into the forest. Years later their golden‑starred sister finds them—only to unleash a curse that turns her brothers into ravens. To save them, she must keep a seven‑year vow of absolute silence and never laugh. As seasons pass, a hunting king weds the steadfast, mute princess, but a spiteful queen mother plots her destruction. On the day the pyre is lit, the final moment of the vow arrives and the spell breaks in a rush of wings, truth, and justice. Andrew Lang’s classic retelling of a Grimm tale brims with danger, devotion, and the triumph of love over malice. Narrator Mike Polischuk delivers a warm, expressive performance that brings the enchanted wood, palace intrigue, and breathtaking finale vividly to life—perfect for family listening, classrooms, and lovers of timeless folklore.
